Can you end a marriage without requiring the services of predatory divorce lawyers? As in, a wife and husband having a "gentleman's agreement" to divide children and property?

Assholes. I am living in Ukraine, and I am willing to host any patent-infringing code or documents on my Ukrainian servers.

"at any point in any any negotiation, you need to remain willing to drop everything and just walk away". That is the key to getting a good deal and something that my father always taught that I had a hard time learning as a shy introvert.

"I grew up with a father who successfully launched his own self-funded business and made it look easy." Bullshit, I grew up with such a father and he definitely did not make it look easy. From the insane time requirements and the difficulti

As a computer security nerd these are my recommendations: If you're in SoCal, go here http://twitter.com/hackerdrinkup . My buddy Eliot runs these. Also, the local Defcon and 2600 groups in your area are a good place to go too. And of cou

"99% of the world are schmucks and followers. But 1% are the leaders, creators, inventors. Be the latter, not the former." I try to take his advice to heart, being into research and startups. "Religion is candy for the desperate, and a prof

Dude, chill, I was in the same position when I was 13. It is important to remember to never stop learning. Remember to learn the foundation first: how to program, how computers work, Unix, TCP/IP networking. For electronics, the basics are

It's easier to immigrate, as a foreigner to the USA/Canada/Australia, if you have a PhD. That's really the only reason I'm getting my degree.

My philosophy about lying is like this: first of all, I must be honest with myself. Then, there are one or two people in my life to whom I just don't lie. I think we all should have a friend to whom we can tell "the truth, the whole truth,

Hey, I do remember as a kid being frustrated when people would dumb down when talking to you. Also, when they refused to talk to me about things because "I was too young to be concerned about these things." Pissed me right off. I always lik

I do not go to the UK; as a Vietnamese citizen, I need to have a "transit visa" even if I have a two-hour layover. The laws in the UK are especially ridiculous.

And this is news? I routinely go on 2-3 week trips with nothing but one carry on and one laptop bag.

I live in Ukraine and just use a jailbroken iPhone with pirated apps.

I think that's the disease of security researchers - thinking that Average Joe will give a shit. Average Joe's got more interesting thing to do than some hypothetical threat - unless the threat actually occurs, in which case he'll start sho

I wonder if somehow we could hook up wires to our brains so that we could experience these colors.

In most cases I've known it to be "quite likely" and I found that I do know enough. You can't see the same kind of person over and over and not form patterns. I personally think that you're wrong to think that everyone has the same value. G

Hang in there, buddy. Probably you were just rejected by a bunch of high-maintenance princesses. Look for a decent woman, you probably deserve one.

A good way to feel better is to think: Wait a sec, what kind of people are these girls? Most likely they are spoiled princesses with a massive sense of entitlement. They, perhaps are not worth much as people. Why is being rejected by them s

I dunno about the part about it being inborn or not though - I had been taking things apart for as long as I can remember, and the fact that I was 'different' didn't not bother me AT ALL - until puberty.

Out of curiosity, which school is this? (I mean the party school)

I did get into UCLA though. I am going to be hearing from Berkeley tomorrow, but I think I'll go to UCLA. I really, really like Los Angeles, and know a lot of security hackers there.

Heh, amusing this comes to me right after my rejection to MIT, Caltech, Olin and Harvey Mudd.

This is the Soviet Union - where public education is free, free, free, as long as you're getting good grades and staying out of trouble.

If it's not a secret, can you tell us more about your startup?

I don't think humanity as a whole has become more or less materialistic: we've just raised the bar due to technological advances. Witness the greed of conquistadors and kings of times past for gold, for example.

Heh, I grew up in a family that listened to classical music, and took piano lessons since I was 5. It took me a while to realize that my family's musical taste was not ordinary.

That would be like saying that "my compromise is that I couldn't experience prison."
